A friend of mine from India forwarded me a video clip of a Rama Bhakthar (Lord Rama’s devotee) coming out of a Jeeva Samadhi. He was buried alive for 11 days.
As per Jacob Shivanand, Jeeva Samadhi means “becoming one” with the universal consciousness or merging with God or Divine or Light.
This is too much for my pea-brain.
Please watch this 6 minute video clip and let me know your opinion.
1. Why he went into jeeva samadhi
ReplyDelete2. Why he is returning ? Who asked the public or his devotees to dig after jeeva samadhi?
3. Where is the police? How public was allowed to dig and take him out
4. One who takes jeeva samadhi never come out with physical body. There are many saints for example have taken jeeva samadhi.
Thanks for your comments Swami Ji. These are very good questions. It means I don't know the answers. I will send these questions to the person in India who forwarded me this video clip.
DeleteI am not sure if i want to watch the video. Have you seen Rajini's Raghavendra movie?

Thanks for your comments Rajesh. Watch it. It is not gross or scary. He was just sitting safely. And, got up. No, I have not seen that movie
DeleteMore information is needed. May be he had asked his ‘devotees’ to pull him out of the closed pit after 11 days to show his yogic powers to live without food, water and air that long. Evidently he seems to have achieved it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Mr. KP. I have no idea on this subject. Will need to do some research.
DeleteThis could be a fraud set up. There are many such cases in India.
ReplyDeleteBut Shankaracharya voluntary gave up body. There is YouTube video. Most of the people (including me) who consider Shankaracharya as a true guru believe in it.
So it is acceptance by some people which matters.
Thanks for your comments Kirtivasan. You are correct. It all depends upon what individuals believe and accept.
DeleteWhen it comes to beliefs, they can be anything from interesting to bizzare. They are often in conflict with scientific reasoning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Pradeep. Yes, these incidents are certainly in conflict with scientific reasoning.
DeleteWow
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sujatha.
DeleteIt is very difficult to 'believe' these things. Do they get any benefit out of this circus?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sandhya. I have no idea. Someone said if you on a jeeva samadhi, you are not supposed to come out.
DeletePeople do all this! Phew!
ReplyDeleteWhy take samadhi at all?
Thanks for your comments Anita. I have no idea. Still searching for some answers.
DeleteMerging with God is the final curtain of life on earth. Can a person remain enclosed with no entry of air? Good topic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sarala.
